Thanksgiving 2012

We had a great time in Olympia for thanksgiving! Grandma made a wonderful traditional dinner which we got to have the next night too, joined by Uncle David and Aunt Toisa. As always the girls had a great time. I think this is one of their favorite places ever:-)

The rain held off on Thursday for some outdoor fun.  It was very cold, though you wouldn't know it from what Miss Katya is wearing.  Crazy kid!  Larry put up a swing in the tree and a flag outside the play house, per Katya's request.  Such a spoiled girl!:-)

The girls said they wanted to sleep in the basement.  It lasted about as long as we expected; about a minute after I left.  Though Reagan and I ended up sleeping down there because her and Katya couldn't quiet down being in the same room.  

Posing for a picture despite the need to pee:-)

Lots of time was spent coloring in the playhouse....

...And in the studio putting up quilt pieces.

After dinner on Thusday the girls were right back out to play in the playhouse.  It was SO fun watching them run back and forth between the house and the playhouse.  Larry have them some little flashlights and boy, was that fun.  This is pretty much how it looked in the dark (Katya with the blue flashlight).

But I like this slightly longer exposure and how the house is lit.

I just realized, I have no pictures of Elsie in here!  She had fun too.  She spent a lot of time going up and down the stairs in grandma's house, and also some time in the playhouse.  It was so wet out, she didn't get to crawl around outside much.
